It has cleared up my skin nicely and my face feels less oily. I have tried a lot brands like clearasil but it didn’t clear up my skin like this.I differently recommend!!

Excellent facial wash for my oily/combination skin and very gentle to use on my face. Have been using this product for a few years now, having suffered acne problems and was dubious to try - other facial products flared up my facial skin and left my face looking ugly, this product has made a difference and having found the perfect match, wouldn’t change. Love the smell, easy laver, no need to use a lot and leaves my face fresh looking, smooth & soft. Need very little face moisturiser to use after cleansing. Love this product and is a MUST HAVE to aid cleansing my face. Thank you Neal’s Yard.

I have been using this product for just over 2 months now and it has done wonders for my acne prone skin. This is the first face wash I have found, after trying many, that visibly makes a difference! While I do still get the odd spot, the difference before and after for me was incredible. This product doesn't dry out my skin even after using it consistently twice a day, which is a problem I find with a lot of acne face washes currently on the market. I would 100% recommend this product if you have oily or combination skin that is prone to acne.

For the past week, I have been using this wash each evening. I am afraid to say that my skin looks sunburned and awful after I use it. Across my cheeks and forehead, I look like I have been sitting in the sun and burnt myself. My face also feels hot and as though skin is stripped. I am relieved to see reviews stating the same facts as I initially just thought I was responding to the pollution in the city or something else. I read the ingredients but have no idea what I am reacting to...Response from NYR on 29.05.18 'We’re really sorry to hear that the Palmarosa Facial Wash is not suitable for you, and we would like to investigate this further.

Easily THE best facial wash I’ve ever used. I wear makeup every day including full coverage foundation, mascara and eyeliner. It removes all of this quickly and easily, doesn’t sting my eyes even when I’ve accidentally got some in! It doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry or right afterwards and I have terribly dry skin. An absolute must-have and I’ve recommended it to friends and colleagues.

been using the neals yard 'palmarosa' range now for about 3 weeks, as my skincare products I previously was using just wasn't doing enough for my skin. I have to say, since I've stated using this facial wash I have seen a difference with the overall texture and appearance of my skin. I have combination skin, oily on t-zone normal on cheek area and it gives me just enough moisture without leaving my oily zones feeling 'too oily'. A really nice fresh feeling facial wash!!

I really love this face wash, just one pump is enough and although it doesn't foam for long (due to not having nasty chemicals in) it does foam sufficiently to feel cleansed and my skin feels really soft afterwards. Love the smell and the glass bottle too. Will definitely try other products from this range

I have suffered with terribly oily/acne prone skin since age 9 and am now 22. I have tried everything my doctor and dermatologist have to offer including 2x on roaccutain, major diet changes and tried absolutely every product that claims to help stop acne. About 3 months ago I was recommended this product and it has quite literally been life changing - it has balanced my skin out and compared to before I have 0 breakouts. Thanks so much NYR would recommend to anyone again and again with my skin type.

After spending over the years hundreds and hundreds of pounds on high end skincare products which never worked, natural skincare and this brand is the way forward to clear skin. rnThank you Neals Yard

This stuff is an absolute miracle in a bottle!! I have suffered with acne since the birth of my child 13 years ago, which I put down to my hormones - especially as my acne was mainly on my chin area. I have tried every face wash going, antibiotics and changed my pill several times... all with no luck. I was at rock bottom, my face was so sore from the huge boil type spots on my chin and the harsh face washes I kept using. I was then recommended this face wash by a friend who had used it,who couldn't recommend it enough. After the first wash with this face wash my skin was instantly soothed, I felt so relieved! After a week of using it my acne had halved and after a couple of weeks my acne had gone completely!! I have now been using this face wash for 3 months and have had no new breakouts since day one! Not even at hormonal times of the month. It has honestly transformed my life! Thank you Neals Yard and thanks to the exceptionally nice man that took time to help me in the Leeds store.

I've suffered from acne for years and years now and have tried everything - prescription drugs and creams, 100s of face washes, coconut oil, all sorts! Over the past year, my skin has improved a lot, however I still suffer from a few big pimples, I rarely go a day without a least a couple of spots. I decided to try Neal's Yard after hearing about it from a friend. The lovely ladies in the Newcastle store recommended the palmarosa facial wash and toner. I've been using it for just over a week and my skin has transformed!! ALL spots have vanished and my skin tone has started to even out. My skin is a lot less greasy and has a kind of 'glow'! I use face wash and toner, morning and evening but only moisturise in the morning. Smells amazing and you only need a tiny blob of the facial wash, a little goes a long way, so I'm hoping it'll last. I'm gutted I hadn't tried this stuff earlier, so thrilled with the results.

I have been using this for many years now and people often remark on my great complexion -I've got oily/sensitive skin. It leaves my skin feeling clean and perfectly refreshed without any tightness or irritation- nothing short of miraculous. On the rare occasions when I have had to use another face wash I immediately notice the difference and get spots and blemishes. I can't recommend it highly enough which is why I write this review and wonder why some other very positive reviewers have only given 4 stars ! Please don't ever stop making this face wash neals yard

I don't normally write reviews but felt like I have to spread the word! I have been using this face wash for a month now and can honestly say it is the best face wash I have ever used. I have spent £100s over the years inc. going to dermatologists for my sensitive, acne prone skin. Since using this face wash my skin has cleared up, pores look less visible and it has a healthy glow.

After suffering with spots since 2013, I started using Clinique's anti-blemish range in summer 2014. A year and a half later and I still have spots so last week I made the decision that I should opt for a more natural range and went on to purchase the Palmarosa cleanser, toner and moisturiser. Within just one week, my skin has changed dramatically and I am just amazed with the results! I had around 24 angry, red spots last week and now only have around 2 small ones and some scarring which should hopefully fade over time. All in all, I am very impressed and would recommend this to anyone who is suffering with their skin!

Got this as it had rave reviews but after using my face was bright red and burning. I don't normally have a problem with face washes. I also bought it because it claimed to not strip away natural oils, but it most certainly has, leaving my face red and shiny and feeling like I've lost a layer of skin.rnrnResponse from NYR...I’m really sorry to hear that this is not suitable for your skin.

I'm halfway through my first bottle and placing another order. I've always had problematic skin plagued by cystic acne.I'm using other things as well (need oil+tea tree, rosehip+sandalwood to moisturise) but I can say this product is a great cleanser. I have sensitive combination skin. It does not dry me out, does not feel harsh, my skin feels clean and bright after! All you need is 1 pump, 3 months use and I'm only half way through the bottle. Its packaged well. I usually don't like products with a scent but this has a lovely mild one. For an extra clean I wash it off using a muslin cloth.rnReally pleased with this product that's why I had to review it! My best buy from NYR yet! Thanks!

I am a teenager prone to blemishes galore and a very oily t-zone.Within 2months, using this and the yarrow and comfrey moisturiser, my skin is no longer oily, in fact i sometimes have to use a more hydrating moisturiser because my skin is on the dry side. this wash has improved the appearance of my skin and I much prefer now using natural based products rather than chemical based ones as they do irritate my skin a lot .

Ive spent many years using face washes for oily / combination skin and this is by far the best. You only need a very small amount and if you have enlarged pores, from the first use, you can see the dirt has been easily lifted away. Great product!

I bought this facial wash about 10 months ago, it's nearly coming to the end of the bottle,i will definitely be buying this product again!I have oily/combination skin, prone to many spots and i found this facial wash to be amazing. I wash my face in the morning with it and it keeps my skin from being oily. i have also found that with regular use, it prevents spots from forming. It also improves the appearance of my skin as it takes the redness away from some spots. it smells lovely and a little goes a long way!

After trying many, many other products for my teenage daughters skin we are now using this product with fantastic results. All the other products we have used (ranging from the more highly advertised branded types to more natural seeming Teatree based washes/wipes/cleansers and even very expensive adult beauty cleansers and moisturisers have only ever resulted in her skin becoming irritated and then as her skin has become overly dry, more of an outbreak occurring. This facial cleanser does not do that- we use it morning and night everyday and her skin is now much clearer.

I am 38, oily skin. This cleaner polishes skin and leaves it blemish free. I received a small sample (westfield) and after few days I realised how smooth my skin was, I also stopped using all the harsh products. All blemishes are disappearing and it seems my skin stays oil free a lot longer, for most of the day, if I use only serum and powder. ...So I bought the facial wash today.

I was initially wary of using this cleanser as thought it would be too drying and was aimed at more acne prone/teenage skin. I have 39 year old combination skin, with a classic oily T-zone &amp; the occasional spot. I and was happily using the Frankincense cleanser (which is lovely too), but felt I needed something to cleanse the T-zone a little more thoroughly so thought I would give this a try, and am so glad I did! It cleanses the skin thoroughly but without stripping it, leaving it soft, but without any feeling of tightness, or dryness that a lot of cleansers designed for combination skin seem too. I can even get away with not applying moisturiser afterwards if I want too it is that non-drying! A fabulous product, would highly recommend it.
